Jade Vine
As radiant dawn warms the summer skyEcho the song from a waking magpie As dew drops glisten and slowly dissipateAnd the crest of a new morning slowly breaks A lovely young woman lays peaceful in her bedWaking with the sun arching overhead A smile, a kiss and heart-warming embraceIn greeting for this day she must surely face A love so pure for sweet JulianeAs rare and lovely as blooming jade vine A beautiful woman of God’s own designThe rarest of flowers and purely sunshine.
